At the very least, he should spend some time on the bench.

I'm missing something. Is Hanley a FA or something?

Just sayin.

Might as well put Pujols and Braun and Bob Gibson in there as long as we're making pointless, impossible rosters.

Sure-Oz · 05-20-2009, 08:28 PM

What FA SS's are there next year, damn

He needs to spend some quality time in Omaha and learn how to play baseball again.

No, I was just struck by how big of a difference one player would make. I think we're closer than I thought before.

I had his wife sitting behind me last week and overheard her talking about how he was going off on himself at home and dwelling on his bad performance. I don't think he had a sore forearm the last 2 days, I think he was benched.

**petegz28** · 05-20-2009, 08:29 PM

**** he is going to steal on Buck...watch

Mr. Krab · 05-20-2009, 08:30 PM
